  abstract = {{T}he {A}mazon basin hosts half the planet's remaining moist tropical forests, but they may be threatened in a warming world. {N}evertheless, climate model predictions vary from rapid drying to modest wetting. {H}ere we report that the catchment of the world's largest river is experiencing a substantial wetting trend since approximately 1990. {T}his intensification of the hydrological cycle is concentrated overwhelmingly in the wet season driving progressively greater differences in {A}mazon peak and minimum flows. {T}he onset of the trend coincides with the onset of an upward trend in tropical {A}tlantic sea surface temperatures ({SST}). {T}his positive longer-term correlation contrasts with the short-term, negative response of basin-wide precipitation to positive anomalies in tropical {N}orth {A}tlantic {SST}, which are driven by temporary shifts in the intertropical convergence zone position. {W}e propose that the {A}mazon precipitation changes since 1990 are instead related to increasing atmospheric water vapor import from the warming tropical {A}tlantic.},
